The pageant that was held last November 25 in Albania was a controversial one already and it doesn't seem to stop there. Now they're proclaiming additional runners up. During the pageant night they only announced the winner, which is India and the two runners up, Colombia and Albania but there's no 3rd & 4th runners up. The reason why it was not announced because according to the organizers it was an honest mistake, the hosts forgot to read the other two runners up. So they decided to make a proclamation/crowning moment for the other two runners up, yup 2 days after the coronation night. The 3rd runner up was the Philippines and the 4th runner up was South Africa. South Africa was not present during the proclamation because she's on her way home already and the organizers will be mailing her crown and sash.SOURCE:http://www.powerhouseph.net/

As per MG org, the Host forgot to announce the 3rd and 4th runner up which is very much clever of him I'm also confused why didn't they fix it during the coronation itself before the winner has been announced!?But I'm still happy Manalo got a placement! I still believe she should have a higher placement or the Crown!This pageant is the cheapest among the International pageants has joined this year so far!
